Craig Loudermilk, PE, Director of Public Works for Morton, Illinois was kind enough to arrange for our members to tour Morton's new water treatment facility. The $12 million modifications were made to deal with the excessive ammonia in the Mahomet Aquifer. Pictured with Craig (in yellow) is Trent Reid, Water Treatment Supervisor who conducted the tour and explained the new equipment and monitoring.
Represented from our Chapter was Mike Hoffman of WSP Global. Interesting to note that WSP (used to be Parsons Brinckerhoff) recently purchased Wood Environmental. Farnsworth was well represented by Kevin Hannel, Mike Lutz, Cristin Robertson, Hayden Hoskins, and Edgar Becerra. Also attending was Philip Allyn of the City of Bloomington and our regulars, Andy Shull from Caterpillar, Daniel Gehman with Dewberry, and myself.
Following the tour was a Chapter dinner meeting to which all those on the tour were invited. We discussed the purpose of the Chapter and future objectives which included reaching out to High Schools, Universities, and other specialized groups such as TBII and the Society of Professional Hispanic Engineers; arranging events to attract future students; confirming that our activities could be counted for PDH credit; and partnering with other Chapters for large events.
